Guys,
In a bind. Need to mount a vxfs filesystem with the largefiles
options but I keep getting an incompatible error message. I thought
Veritas supported the largefiles options for Solaris?


Platform Solaris8
VM 3.02


I need info in a hurry...I have DBA's screaming to do a restoral.
Thanks in advance.

What is the exact error?

Most likely you have that file system in /etc/vfstab, and the optikns you
are usingfrom command line
do not match what u have in vfstab.

So what I am talking about is this, example.

vfstab:
/dev/vx/dsk/testdg/v1 /dev/vx/rdsk/testdg/v1 /vxfs vxfs 2 no largefiles

longstar / > mount -F vxfs /dev/vx/dsk/testdg/v1 /vxfs
UX:vxfs mount: ERROR: mount option(s) incompatible with file system
/dev/vx/dsk/testdg/v1

longstar / > mount -F vxfs -o largefiles /dev/vx/dsk/testdg/v1 /vxfs
UX:vxfs mount: ERROR: mount option(s) incompatible with file system
/dev/vx/dsk/testdg/v1

This is because largefiles is not enabled. You have to either make fs with
largefiles or mount it and then enabled it with fsadm.

So take out vfstab line and then mount.

longstar / > mount -F vxfs /dev/vx/dsk/testdg/v1 /vxfs
longstar / >

longstar / > /usr/lib/fs/vxfs/fsadm /vxfs
nolargefiles
longstar / > /usr/lib/fs/vxfs/fsadm -o largefiles /vxfs
longstar / > /usr/lib/fs/vxfs/fsadm /vxfs
largefiles

Uncomment vfstab.
/dev/vx/dsk/testdg/v1 /dev/vx/rdsk/testdg/v1 /vxfs vxfs 2 no largefiles

longstar / > umount /vxfs
longstar / >
longstar / > mount -F vxfs /dev/vx/dsk/testdg/v1 /vxfs

There is no need to mount it with largefiles. ALL u need to enable
largefiles is use fsadm.

Sorry for the long answer :)

Thanks to all who responded! Problem solved! I needed to use the fsadm
command! Sorry for the bonehead question.

Filesystem needs to be made with largefiles option, then mounted with
largefiles enabled. You can set largefiles on the filesystem after creation
with the fsadm command.

Create time:
mkfs -F vxfs -o largefiles /dev/vx/rdsk/<dgname>/<volname>

After the fact:
/usr/lib/fs/vxfs/fsadm -F vxfs -o largefiles /mntpoint

The specify largefiles in the options field (field #7) of your /etc/vfstab.

Good Luck,
Mark

what's the error message? But, you may need to use fsadm to enable
largefiles before trying to mount it that way (if you didnt' make the
filesystem with largefiles from the beginning)

Hi All,

We are getting the following error message at the boot up:
vxvm:vxconfigd: ERROR: Segmentation violation. there is a Sun Documentation
ID 42969 that explain the bug and the error but that is just for Solaris 7
and 8, and what I need is for Solaris 2.6.

Any ideas?
Thanks for the your help.

Adam,
this sounds like a support case question, and not a general email
list question.
have you opened a case?

Hi Adam,
Did you recently upgraded VxVM? This could happen if you have
Disk Group Version layout which is not supported by the VxVM
version/release you've installed in the box.
Following is a list of supported Disk Group Version layout with
corresponding
VxVM release:

VxVM Release Disk Group Version Supported Disk Group Versions


1.2 10 10
1.3 10 15
2.0 20 20
2.2 30 30
2.3 40 40
2.5 50 50
----------------------------------------------------------------------
3.0 60 20-40, 60
3.1 70 20-70
3.1.1 80 20-80
